which subs to use with mrd 605

[liquidrider_321 10+ year member]

hello which subs would be best to run from an alpine mrd 605 in sealed box 1.92 cu ft a piece, the amp pushes 600 watt rms at 2 ohms and 400 at 4 ohms so if i did go with a dual voice coil setup how could i wire two of them to two ohms? i was thinking of either alpine type s or type e or something else not much more then 100 a piece for 2 12's. any help much appreciated thank you

alpines would sound like shat in a sealed box that big. that box is enough for 2 12's, then it wouldn't be so bad.

you do mean 1.92 cu ft. per sub right? not 1.92 for 2 12's.

ya it is 1.92 a side but i could stack up some old phone books inside to bring it down to about 1.3 or 1.4 just ghetto style it out

you aren't going to get very acurate volume measurements with phone books. if nothing else get some 2x4s and brace every corner, which will bring the volume down. lots of measuring, but your gonna need to fill up nearly half that box. not very practical. on the plus side it'll **** heavy and hard to steal.lol

why wouldent that work? i read somewere to use 2x4's would that work? or what subs would sound good in that much air

just make a completely different box with proper airspace, its not that hard, and you'll gain alot of your trunk back

edit: or port that current box

but away from the box what subs would work good with that amp, as far as ohms and watts i would liek something around 300rms a piece but how do i wire dual voice coil at 2 ohms
